So I think I figured out what happened. Today I opened the hive that the swarmed yesterday. It was a week or so overdue for a new queen and had plenty of queen cells. A couple had been open for a week, but no queen, no eggs.
Today I found a two virgin queens. I marked one and squashed the other. Still no eggs. So the queen should be laying next week or so. Then I noticed comb under the hive.
I took the boxes apart and shook the bottom board into the brood box. In the comb I found eggs and larvae. I cut the comb and put it in a frame for them and looked through the box again for the queen with no luck.
I walked around near where I shook the bees and found the queen.
I put her at the entrance and she went in. So now there is a virgin and a laying queen in there.
They might swarm again with the virgin, but I can?t tell them apart. They are both young and marked with white.
